Chapter 133

If we really let Alaricka keep writing like that, who knows how long we would have to wait. If we waited for her, a lot of things would have been delayed.

He couldn’t let Alaricka mess around like this anymore.

He lost his patience, frowned, and said, “Alaricka, stop pretending. This matter is settled. Later, we’ll criticize you in front of the whole grade, and then cancel your exam results.”

Alaricka turned a deaf ear and just kept scribbling on the test paper.

The dean’s face completely darkened. He walked over, raised his hand, and was about to grab Alaricka’s arm to pull her up.

But the moment he got close, his eyes couldn’t help but focus on Alaricka’s test paper.

He was a bit surprised.

He used to be a math teacher, and he had tried to solve this problem himself, but he just couldn’t figure it out, so he had left it blank.

But now, Alaricka’s hands moved really fast, and soon only half of the answer area was left blank.

He read it carefully, and Alaricka’s answer was clear, thorough, and logical. It really showed the way to solve the problem. Alaricka’s answer was even simpler and clearer than the answer key.

Back then, he was kind of confused even when looking at the answers. Now, looking at Alaricka’s answer, it was like the clouds cleared and everything suddenly made sense.

He stopped what he was doing right away and looked carefully at the answer Alaricka wrote.

The people around didn’t know what was happening and kept urging Alaricka to leave.

Clarissa said, “Director, what are you doing? Hurry up and get started.”

“Don’t tell me you wanted to mess around with Alaricka too? Stop wasting time, okay? Class already started, and the others are still waiting.”

The teachers around noticed something was off and came over. When they saw what Alaricka wrote, they all looked a bit surprised.

A few minutes later, the director of teaching took the test paper from Alaricka’s hand and laid it open on the table.

The way of solving the problem was correct.

The answer was correct.

Everywhere was right; there wasn’t a single mistake.

There was a look of surprise in the eyes of the dean and the teachers.

Alaricka actually solved so many questions that even the teachers and students couldn’t answer.

The dean frowned, turned his head, and looked at Alaricka in shock and suspicion.

Alaricka stood up looking as usual and said calmly, “Is it done?”

The dean said, “You actually solved this problem, so… you really didn’t cheat.”

Alaricka had her hands in her pockets, raised an eyebrow, and watched Clarissa look at the test paper.

Clarissa didn’t get good grades, and the only reason she was taking AP classes was because of the Argent family’s money.

She naturally couldn’t understand the questions and answers on the test paper, and said right away, “Isn’t it just a math problem? Maybe Alaricka already checked the answers ahead of time and is just pretending to fool you guys.”

The dean shook his head, “No, her answer wasn’t the same as the standard one. The way of thinking was the same, but hers was simpler and better for teaching students. They were different, so there’s no way she copied.”

Clarissa heard the reply, and her face turned pale.

The teachers all looked at Alaricka, and there was a bit of shame in their eyes.

They really seemed to have misunderstood Alaricka.

Anyone who could answer this question definitely wasn’t lacking in ability.

In the whole senior year, only Alaricka solved this problem, and even the boy who just cried about Alaricka cheating and taking his first place couldn’t solve it.

The boy who came in second obviously realized it too, and his face quickly fell.

Alaricka curled her lips, “So, are you still going to say I plagiarized without any evidence?”

The dean and the teachers looked at each other.

Alaricka chuckled, “So, can I go now? Class is about to start.”

The dean hesitated for a moment, then waved his hand, “Let’s go.”

Alaricka turned around and left.

As soon as she walked out, there was a burst of cheers outside the office.

“Wow, wow, wow, Alaricka was so cool!”

Alaricka took a closer look and then realized that those classmates from her class had all gathered at the classroom door at some point, quietly listening to what was going on inside.

Jaylene said, “We’d been listening from the start, and we were actually planning to make a big deal out of this if the school handled it that way, but we didn’t expect that you could solve it yourself.”
